My daughter went to England two months ago and foolishly bought an all singing all dancing mobile phone there.Guess what.... it was cut off after being back here a couple of weeks.She has been to passport police and done everything they asked her to do,including paying 150 ytl to be switched back on,however this has not happened.Its a month now since she registered the bloody thing at the Avia shop and despite several phone calls and visits nothing has happened.Any suggestions

Apparently there is a massive backlog in dealing with the paperwork and times like three months to clear have been mentioned. The truth is I don't think anyone really knows. The whole thing it seems was badly planned and executed and the goalposts keep moving.

6 month backlog the last time I called.

It would seem logical to not lock any more until they get back on track.[?][?]

The police are now saying a minimum wait of six months.

I really think that its not worth having a UK mobile in Turkey and intend buying a cheap basic phone next time we are in Fethiye.

Many thanks for replying to my query everyone.Why dont they just say that when we go in and harrass them

?Someone we know got theirs switched back on in a week,so I guess its all a matter of luck.
